Abstract:

The role of lifestyle has taken a renewed importance in disease prevention and chronic disease management. Osteopathic medicine has long focused on comprehensive, holistic care for our patients, and the tenets support the role of lifestyle medicine (LM) in osteopathic clinical care. In this commentary, the authors make the argument for incorporating LM more formally into the clinical curriculum at colleges of osteopathic medicine and will draw parallels with these two programs.
